Dear Mr. Davis: In your letter dated May 1, 1991, on behalf of The Ames Company, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The handle is composed of a textile material completely embedded in plastics. This type of handle has many uses and it is frequently used on items such as portable radios and cassette players. After importation, these particular handles will be attached to a wire cutter. The applicable subheading for the plastic handle will be 3926.90.2500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other articles of plastics...handles or knobs, not elsewhere specified or included, of plastics. The rate of duty will be 6.5 percent ad valorem. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177). A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction. Sincerely, Jean F. Maguire Area Director New York Seaport
